Comparing the 2025 Genesis GV70 vs 2024 GV70 vs 2023 GV70
The Genesis GV70 has made waves in the luxury SUV segment since its debut in 2021 thanks to its unique blend of sophistication, performance, and value. For model year 2025, this compact luxury SUV continues to hold its own established rivals with two distinct powertrains: the pragmatic yet potent 2.5T and the more athletic 3.5T Sport. While both models share Genesis’s signature design and upscale interiors, their different engine options and suspension tuning create two notably different SUVs.
Here, we’ll explore the key differences between these models to help you determine which GV70 variant best meets your needs.
